Even if we limited ourselves to just this one incident, it appears that there were a few cops standing around who could have done some serving and protecting. They didn't.
To be fair, one of the standing around cops said, ‘Should we put him on his side?’ to which Chauvin replied, ‘He’s staying were he is.’ This appears to be what caused ‘evincing depraved mind’ to be included in the official charges.
So, even when some cops try to serve and protect, they get overruled by senior officers.
